It is possible for a C++ class template to inherit from a specialization
of itself. Normally, these are imported to Swift as separate (unrelated)
types, but when symbolic import is enabled, unspecialized templates are
imported in place of their specializations, leading to circularly
inheriting classes to seemingly inherit from themselves.
This patch adds a check to guard against the most common case of
circular inheritance, when a class template directly inherits from
itself. This pattern appears in a recent version of libc++,
necessitating this patch. However, the solution here is imperfect as it
does not handle more complex/contrived circular inheritance patterns.
This patch also adds a test case exercising this pattern. The
-index-store-path flag causes swift-frontend to index the C++ module
with symbolic import enabled, without the fix in this patch, that test
triggers an assertion failure due to the circular reference (and can
infinitely recurse in the StorageVisitor when assertions are disabled).

Nested calls to importBaseMemberDecl() subvert its cache and compromise its idempotence, causing the semantic checker to spuriously report ambiguous member lookups when multiple ClangRecordMemberLookup requests are made (e.g., because of an unrelated missing member lookup).
One such scenario is documented as a test case: test/Interop/Cxx/class/inheritance/inherited-lookup-typechecker.swift fails without this patch because of the expected error from the missing member. Meanwhile, test/Interop/Cxx/class/inheritance/inherited-lookup-executable.swift works because it does not attempt to access a missing member.
This patch fixes the issue by only calling importBaseMemberDecl() in the most derived class (where the ClangRecordMemberLookup originated, i.e., not in recursive requests).
As a consequence of my patch, synthesized member accessors in the derived class directly invoke the member from the base class where the member is inherited from, rather than incurring an indirection at each level of inheritance. As such, the synthesized symbol names are different (and shorter). I've taken this opportunity to update the relevant tests to // CHECK for more of the mangled symbol, rather than only the synthesized symbol prefix, for more precise testing and slightly better readability.

If a C++ type `Derived` inherits from `Base` privately, the public methods from `Base` should not be callable on an instance of `Derived`. However, C++ supports exposing such methods via a using declaration: `using MyPrivateBase::myPublicMethod;`.
MSVC started using this feature for `std::optional` which means Swift doesn't correctly import `var pointee: Pointee` for instantiations of `std::optional` on Windows. This prevents the automatic conformance to `CxxOptional` from being synthesized.

When importing a C++ struct, if its owning module requires cplusplus, Swift tried to auto-conform it to certain protocols from the Cxx module. This triggers name lookup in the clang struct, specifically for `__beginUnsafe()` and `__endUnsafe` methods, which imports all of the base structs including their methods.
This moves the import of base structs out of the name lookup request, preventing cycles.

Even if a virtual method is not used directly from Swift, it might get emitted into the vtable, and in that case the IR for it should be emitted to avoid linker errors.
Fixes https://github.com/apple/swift/issues/61730.
This commit adds very basic support for importing and calling base class methods, getting and setting base class fields, and using types inside of base classes.
